To mgason ... mark,
You've given me amazing help. Really appreciate it!!!
Have a question. In the "right" button, you can specify the .swf file to be loaded. Since it ultimately goes to a...

Hi mgason,
These files opened fine. Thanks for redoing them in MX2004. As you mentioned to email you if had questions... I sent you an email earlier today. Hope you got it.

Hi mgason,
When I load either of your recent .fla files, I get the message from Flash MX 2004 "FAILED TO OPEN DOCUMENT" I'm very eager to look at your files (as I mentioned in Tues. message) If...

Thanks Mark, I downloaded it immediately and tried to open it in Flash MX 2004. It gave error message 'failed to open'. Could it be you saved the .fla in Flash 8 and perhaps not readible in MX? I...

Hi mgason,
Viewed your tossfad site... very slim-line controller in bottom of videos. Nice.
I'm not using .flv's ... only swf's. Gave up on those awhile back and will wait to revisit that...

mgason ... RE: "its pretty easy to work with, I will try and extract it from the main file in an understandable way and post it later today if you are interested." ----yes, would like to see...

My previous experience with FLV was about 8 months ago, wasn't on F8 (still not), but couldn't solve getting a preloader to work. Decided to just use .swf files. Would like to get a preloader working...

Hi Mark, or anyone else.... I too have need to calculate automatically how much time to spend in preloader depending on the speed of the connection. I would like not to have to ask the visitor. Any...

Hey... this was great to know. I just experimented with some other things that you can control from Flash... like swapping various images via javascript. Before all this I have always kept javascript...

I use javascript for rollover images.... Dreamweaver does a great job of inserting the code for you... in there you can specify to preload the images (for example, when you rollover an image you want...

Thanks so much iaskwhy. I switched over to embedded video versus progressive download using a .flv file (even though the movie is 7.7 megs at 5 minutes) It has been Squeezed by the way. I kept...

Thanks iaskwhy. I ended up having to work on other things and am just now getting back to this. I guess I'll give up on the .flv file approach and embed the movie in a .swf file using a regular...

I too have been searching for this answer and have even posted a question. I hope someone will help solve this.

I keep reading I should be using .flv files and progressive... even Macromedia's notes say video's over 30 sec. should be progressive... I guess what you're saying is embedding is fine for 5 minute...

Thank you so much for responding!!!

The movie is at 5 minutes. From what I understand, embeding a movie within a .swf longer than 2 minutes runs the risk of using up too much of the visitor's...

Either my request is:
1) extremely complicated
2) not understandable
3) silly

Just posting again to see if I can get anyone to help.

Could you provide a few more details about what you're trying to do?

Hi again.... since I haven't yet received a reply, perhaps I'll create a different question:

I am using loadMovieNum to load a .swf file that links in a 5 minute FLV file using display and...

I've searched and read many of the posts about preloader/FLV subject but hope someone can be very specific. I am using loadMovieNum to load a .swf file that links in a 5 minute FLV file using display...

I'm fairly new to video in Flash, but here's what I did that seemed to work. You can create a Flash file, instead of embed video, link to the .flv file. I used component Display Video and then...
